Sub-pages would definitely be possible, but I'd like to stay away from having it integrated with the forum.

It'd be nice to have the forum software tools for moderation, voting, and of course discussion.

Well in that case, either a sub-forum of the rumors section, or threads directly in the rumors section would be better.

Now we're clearly miscommunicating again. This has nothing at all to do with rumors.

IMO it does, but let's stick to the wiki idea. PM sent.

But, a rumor is something where there's speculation about what Pentax (or someone) might be actually doing. Hopefully grounded in some sort of reality. While some of the "dear pentax" ideas might be along those lines, I don't want to constrain it to that (or even encourage it).

There's no rumor that Pentax is about to make a weather-sealed flash, but it could make a good dear-pentax article (particularly if someone can make a good case for it).

Anyway, PM replied-to.

Sounds good. We'll get something set up for "Dear Pentax" in a short while, hopefully!

It's in the Photographic Industry and Professionals dept.
It's a Sticky thread near the top of the page: link

But, yeah, I had a hard time finding it, too. Didn't it used to be in another sub-forum? Maybe in News and Rumors?

When searching the forums, scroll down to the bottom of the page for google search results- sometimes they do a much better job of finding what you're looking for.
